CUSTOM PACK · 4 WORDSREADY
ねこ = 猫 = neko = cat
いぬ = 犬 = inu = dog
みず = 水 = mizu = water
えんぴつ = 鉛筆 = enpitsu = pencil

Use one concept per line. Spaces around = are optional, and full-width ＝ works too.

THE ALIAS DIFFERENCE

One concept. Every answer you want to accept.

Traditional guessing games usually expect one spelling. Alias Draw treats every entry on a line as the same correct answer, including scripts, readings, romanization, translations, and regional alternatives.

  • Use a premade 100-word language and theme pack.
  • Paste the exact vocabulary from your current lesson.
  • Save a custom pack code when you want to reuse it.
  • Reveal all accepted forms after each round.
